[@lmiller4121]

Wonderful planning and design. Well done.

[@mepmh]

Nice! I like it. Since we dont get much snow, You instpired me to make a cart for my lawnmower

[@darfirst]

Now that's really cool. What a great build and it will be so helpful and useful as well. You built it so fixing in the bush if need be should be a snap. Job well done buddy.

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

+darfirst Thank you my friend. Yup the easier to repair, the better.

[@NoProGoPronto]

You are an engineering genius. That thing is awesome and the music accompaniment was perfect. If you have children or nieces and nephews, I hope you are sharing your craftsmanship with them. This art should never be lost 😊

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

+NoProGoPronto Ha ha, thanks man. I will definitely be passing whatever I know onto my children, when I have them. Until then, I'll just keeping sharing it right here on KZbin.

[@SonniesGardenPA]

That is so cool! Very good for $40, now you can make some more and sell them.

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

+Sonnie's Garden Thanks Sonnie! Yeah I was thinking that I should start building some to sell. Now if I only had the time! lol

[@SonniesGardenPA]

OutsideFun1 I know, Not enough time.

[@SuperKabookie]

Very cool! I enjoy your videos and your spirit of creating.

[@chamilton9182]

I want to ride on the back of that sledge so bad !!! :):) Very cool vid. Thanks for sharing.

[@ChocolateMilkLOL]

The sled design looks so rustic! I love it! Also, great music in this vid :D

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

+ChocolateMilkLOL Thanks!

[@richardhowe2370]

Excellent video!! I would love to copy your design and make one for myself. Thanks!

[@magnoliasntea8263]

I'd say your sledge borders on ingenious. Enjoyed the video. Send snow.

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

+Magnolia Tea That's very kind of you to say! Thanks again Magnolia. lol I'll try to send snow, but we haven't got a whole lot here this year to spare.

[@RollerPigg]

Definitely worth $40! Get you a couple of door hinges and make a little tailgate!

[@FatherAndSonFun]

Awesome! My son and I enjoy all your videos!

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

+FatherAndSonFun 2015 Thanks again for watching! Say hello to your son for me.

[@cyrilbrun8764]

Looks Great ! I built one similar , but yours looks better -- More Rustic ! I can already see that sled pulling up to the finished log cabin loaded with supplies ! :)

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

+cyril brun I can't wait to do just that!

[@johngodwin7902]

Great Build. Good job!

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

+John Godwin Thanks again John!

[@Mr.O-Town]

great video. wish I saw it before I bought my pelican cargo sled for $250 last month lol

[@larrrymeyers6695]

prettt cool sledge, seen it in some of your videos and now going to try and make one.

[@jeremysilap1811]

Okay no disrespect but why do you call it a sledge here in Fairbanks we call em sleds is it a Canadian thing?

[@salvatoremanno123]

great video thank you great job on the sled

[@GraniteValleyDave]

Great video mate, looks beautiful out there!

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

+dashn64 Thanks!

[@notfoolediknowthetruth3101]

To keep the sled tracking in a straight line you need to camber to skis so that the distance between skis at front is 1/8" less than the rear. Center to center. "Pigeon toed" This keeps the nose of the sled centered, it cannot veer off to the side.

[@AMonikaD]

Excellent! I'm gonna build that for my one horse power pooping machine! (My pony😂😂)

[@davidkarlsson1565]

Fantastic! Very innovative projekt!

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

+David Karlsson Thanks David!

[@leobachand8408]

[@sighpocket5]

[@CJ-xe4je]

another awesome video!!!

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

+HeyimAngel - Thanks!

[@benoitlambert1318]

VeryCool, I would make one.

[@tomaszstarling]

When are you going to start on the log home again? Hello from Denver Colorado ☮🇺🇸

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

+TAVOR VICEROY VALDOR I'm doing a bit of work right now for the log cabin, but digging the foundation will start as soon as the snow clears. Thanks for asking!

[@jamesreid2939]

hey... maybe add a skeg for trail stability.. i have seen them on polks and they work great..

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

+James Reid What's a polk? lol

[@jamesreid2939]

TYPO ALERT.. P-U-L-K.... its basically a sled the you pull for winter snow hiking... and a skeg is that rudder/fin you see on surfboards.. disregard if you knew what I was talking about and are just busting chops from typo LOL

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

James Reid lol No I wasn't busting your chops. It had actually slipped my mind what a pulk is. Yeah, good suggestion. I'd have to make the skeg rugged enough to go over rocks where the snow is thin, but I'm sure I could come up with something. Maybe something like a snowmobile ski carbine. Those are built to take rough ground.

[@jamesreid2939]

awesome idea.. also with the pulks a lot of ppl are using two fiber glass poles in an X configuration to give them stability going down hill.. i wonder if an X configuration of the cedar connected to your snow mobile would do the same

[@thankfullife7968]

Cool project but downhill skis are better for two reasons, wider so they ride higher in the snow and two if you run the ice for fishing the merely edges cut and grip better than cross country skis that just slide sideways.

[@Akeboun]

What type of wood did you use? I'm no scientist but over time won't it rot? I mean unless you out some coating on it between clips.

[@joshuakozee5719]

should the pieces of cedar be dry first? i only have pine, not cedar in ct

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

+Josh Kozee I think the cedar pieces are small enough that they won't shrink very much when they dry. Worst case scenario, I just might have to tighten up a few screws in a year or two. I think pine would work just as well.

[@willitpull9118]

I like it

[@jonpalmer5231]

What is the song when you are building the sled?

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

+Jon Palmer It's called "Happy Mandolin"

[@lexibilty8304]

Would a lab be a good sled dog?

[@anakinshaker3680]

lexibilty Depending on how strong your dog is and how heavy the passenger is, you don’t want to over work him and if your passenger is older and heavier than you should definitely have 2 dogs pulling so you don’t over work your lab. You can make him stronger with conditioning and all that jazz.

[@kingfish52]

Man that's bad ass....

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

+Michael King Ha ha thanks!

[@kingfish52]

You make me want to try harder...Keep up the good work....;)

[@cherokeecowboy2312]

What is the weight of the sledge?

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

+Cherokee Cowboy Not sure. Around 50lbs or 60lbs I suppose.

[@MinimalistMotoLife]

50-60 is not bad. Great video. Any reason for using still kind of green cedar instead of dry? more flexible?

[@danbus1728]

Damn dude why just dont use 2/3 they about 1$.30 instead off a piece of tree found on the way to north pole

[@joewhiteman9462]

why you call it a sledge?

[@paulcondie9932]

Sledge?

[@flamedrag18]

you just needed to use a komatik design instead of needing the skis, cut you own, from 2"x6"s

[@snowy800123]

to bad we no longer get snow in newfoundland!

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

+snowy800123 Someone cancelled winter out there!? Politicians...

[@jasonbubley9427]

and this music makes me want to cut my hair into a Mohawk.

[@Timothyreedmurphy]

Music.... must know where music came from!!

[@Timothyreedmurphy]

+Timothy Murphy (All Things Ocean) When you are actually building...

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

+Timothy Murphy (All Things Ocean) The title of the song is: Happy Mandolin, and it's in the KZbin music directory.

[@ot0m0t0]

You need to fix audio not maching the axe in your intro its irking me. :)

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

+ot0m0t0 lol Yeah I filmed that intro with an old camera. I'm hoping that I'll have time to make a new intro this year.

[@jasonbubley9427]

dude why didn't you just use plywood and pallet boards that you can salvage from anywhere. not trying to tell you how to build something. but this thing looks like something somebody scabbed together for a rescue.

[@thankfullife7968]

Have afire blankets drink got chocolate. Good night john boy night Maryellen
